There's really only a handful of us that do the CCC now.

Or a handful that get it right and are prepared to set? Who knows how many around the world are scratching their heads right now...

I think it's the "prepared to set" bit that scares 'em off.
Wish there was a way to avoid that without having a single dedicated setter, and the whole idea of the WSO bit was not to duplicate the Dalek's posts when he ran away to hide ...

He got a "safe seat" as a Tory in the luton council elections - and felt that some of his comments here wouldn't necessarily be seen in a good light by his voters. So he stopped posting for a while, then posted a very anti-Gypsy comment on twatter or farcebook and managed to turn a safe seat into a lost seat during the biggest swing to his party in 50 years ...
He hasn't been back since ...

At least one in Woking.

And one further north

Nottingham and its environs is an area I am not familiar with.

Oh, they are strange up there - it's all mushy pea and Whippet sandwiches*.

My son lived up there for a while, and when he came back home he was forever enthusing about "chips with gravy".

Well, COPPER fits but doesn't seem very cryptic?

Metal: CU (copper)
Uncommon: RARE
CURARE a deadly poison.

Yes, but you and Paul seem to be the masters of CCC. I usually have no idea.
